    He's had months to come to a decision; man up and announce it.
    Yes, but maybe he hasn't. I don't think the club would particularly want to piss him off at this point if he's still a possibility to stay.

      How long do you need to decide? It's ridiculous. He either wants the money (fair enough) or prefers loyalty. It doesn't take 12 months to decide.

      It's already happened once. We're shooting ourselves in the foot, particularly by not developing other players.

      Did it last year with Harbrow (and Hahn/Johnson/Higgins playing injured). Howard/Wallis could and should have played more games.

        Of course it's very unlikely that Rooner17 is privy to inside information, but the question can still be asked? Can it not?

        Some of the posts I've read on WOOF are certainly based on fact.
        Not sure how I'm supposed to take this? Why would it be very unlikely that I was privy to anything? I would of thought I'd just be unlikely? All I am being is a messenger and hopefully a correct one.

          I Appreciate any info provided Rooner. It is up to the reader to believe it or not.

          The last thing we want is to shut down any potential information source. That is half the fun of these forums, the possibility that someone knows something and we all get to share the inside knowledge.

          I still reckon he is gone as it is so much like what happened with all the other players that left to GC.

                    Its a catch 22, we play him and he plays well the draft pick is higher.
                    Thus playing the others could be a plus or minus.

                      Halfway during the year - agreed. But we're near the end.

                      He's proven himself to be a gun. There's 4? games left. Make up your mind and at least do the right thing by the club that gave you a chance in the first place. (See Phil Davis)

                        Re: Callan Ward - Staying or going?

                        After all the uproar following Davis' claim that he was going, already being injured and not playing again this season, there's no way Ward would announce it before the end of the season and would probably have been told by his management and the AFL lawyers (If he is leaving) not to say a word until the season is over.

                          It seems that sarcasm is very hard to convey in text...Or to phrase it differently guys I was just taking the piss.

                          Oh and Bornadog I've heard that phrased as "believe none of what you hear and half of what you see"

                            I've changed to gone.

                            Where there's thick, thick smoke, there's fire. Dale Thomas hasn't signed yet but there aren't the loud noises. Cal is just waiting for our season to be actually over. Gone. Hopefully Wood doesn't follow him as well.

                              I've given up all hope.
                              Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.
